WBO Title Fight

[Champion] Joe Louis, USA, 19-1-0 (18) vs. [30/33] Sergei Kobozev, Russia, 18-2-0 (15)

Kobozev comes in as a huge underdog in this fight but he must not of heard because he is exchanging blows with the champ and has Louis hurt in the 2nd. Both men are obviously not expecting this fight to go the distance since each boxer is not holding anything back. Round 2 ends in a 11-11 score. Round 3, 14-14. The champ starts to take control of this fight, 14-2, in the 4th, 26-4, in the 5th, and opens up a cut on the brow of Kobozev’s left eye. Kobozev needs to really press the fight as we enter the 8th. He has a lot of swelling under the right eye and his cut is pretty bad inside of the left eyebrow. Kobozev responds with a good 10th, 15-8, even though he looks absolutely fatigued. Louis should really be smart and stay away from his opponent for these last two rounds. The champ took 2 out of the last 3 rounds with ease but was hurt in each round. Kobozev is tired and a bloody mess, but he still has that knockout ability and probably knows that he needs a stoppage to win. Kobozev has made a name for himself here in his first world title opportunity. He enters the 15th round and lands a big hook. Louis responds and the referee steps in with only :55 seconds remaining in the fight and stops it to the dismay of Kobozev’s corner. Joe Louis retains his WBO belt with his 7th successful title defense.

Winner: Louis
Result: (TKO15)
Cards: 135-133, 137-130, 137-130, all in favor of Louis.
Punch stats: 56.8% - 18.3% Louis
